Chapter 1500 is more important without him(1/2)

Disney's board of directors needs to implement relevant resolutions the next day of the shareholders' meeting. Chairman George Mitchell manipulated the agenda and insisted on submitting Linton's position as vice chairman to the board of directors for discussion and voting.

The shareholder representative only voted to pass Linton's re-election as director, and the resolution did not involve his position as vice chairman, which was appointed and removed within the powers of the board of directors.

"I don't understand. I've shown my muscles. They still seem to make a little more money by slapping me. What's the mentality of this?"

Linton issued a soul-searching question on the night of the shareholders' meeting, the board of directors also on the eve of the eve of the board of directors.

According to the plan, tonight should be the time for him and Song Ya to start a new round of negotiations with all parties. But the negotiation has not yet been discussed...

Song Ya was also puzzled, "Goldman Sachs behind George Mitchell should not be that crazy..."

"I heard a rumor that the George Dynasty was worried about Paulson's public image and was not very relieved to hand over the position of Treasury Secretary to Wall Street's strong support," Linton said.

“…”

Ah Pu! Song Ya was speechless first, and then almost laughed out loud. Public image? Is the power of Wall Street Wolf really that great?

So, Paulson really hated himself?

George Mitchell's reaction also made sense...

It’s better if Paulson can’t be the leader, the Treasury Secretary’s threat to his business is no less than that of the chairman of Goldman Sachs.

Without considering the current difficulties, Song Ya suddenly felt relieved and told you to cheat me! I didn’t expect to be retribution!?

"I'll call Paulson in person."

Linton should have suspected that he had suffered from his own disaster, but he would not make things clear with his close allies, and Song Ya did not say it out loud, and decided to take responsibility with his actions.

Besides, I really haven't chatted with Paulson for a long time. Hehe...

“APLUS.”

After the two of them had their first conversation after the fall, Paulson's tone seemed very calm.

"Mr. Paulson, I think we have a common interest at Disney, aren't we? We are all helping Carsonberg return to Disney and recognize George Mitchell's contribution to the chairmanship this year."

Linton held his position as a director and raised a force among the senior executives of Disney's branches that others could not underestimate, but his background was still insufficient in important institutions such as Disney's board of directors and supervisory boards. If you want to further gain power after passing the test, you must conduct transactions.

In addition to Jobs Robert Iger's camp, whether it is Roy Disney, Goldman Sachs, George Mitchell, Harvey, Eisner and other forces, Linton and Song Ya have cards to play.

For Goldman Sachs, George Mitchell has served as chairman. After this shareholders' meeting, they added another seat on Disney's board of directors. If Carsonberg can return with DreamWorks Animation, they will naturally be the first contribution, so Carsonberg will definitely get closer to them in the future. In addition to the small flaw of failing to successfully drive Linton out of the board of directors, the income from intervening in the Disney Civil War has been extremely generous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the biggest winner.

It's time to stop when it's time to get better and focus on consolidating the results.

"So you won't take your company away?"

But Paulson did not seem to intend to act purely with interests this time, and the cunning old fox buried the pit in the first sentence.

"Haha, I haven't thought about it yet."

Song Ya laughed, "George Mitchell seems to have some misunderstandings with Linton. I think Linton doesn't mind cooperating with him in his position as vice chairman. Even if he can't let go of the previous small holidays between the two sides, his own energy and physical strength can be considered strong, and the sub-eight chairman cannot hinder him."

If the chairman can be a director, he has real power, and it is easy to run the vice chairman into a decoration. This is how George Mitchell did before.

"I don't know what the power struggles are... specific to those within Disney."

Paulson pretended to be stupid: "Sorry, APLUS, I don't think I can help you any more."

"Haha, OK, it doesn't matter, I understand, you are the chairman of Goldman Sachs who are busy with a lot of money. I'm sorry to call you to bother you with such trivial matters," said Song Ya.

"Well, then...this is the case first?" Paulson wanted to hang up the phone.

"That's it! Goodbye Mr. Chairman."

"Okay, goodbye..."

“We keep in touch with Mr. Chairman.”

“…”

Paulson was disgusted by the billionaire on the other end of the phone, and he put down the microphone and lay on the boss' chair and kept breathing.

Goldman Sachs has no chance, so he can only continue to force Eisner to the testimony. Eisner just asked his people to voluntarily withdrew from his seat at the board of directors and failed to snipe Linton at the shareholders' meeting. His control over Disney's senior executives also completely collapsed. It seems that the situation is over. However, His Majesty the Emperor has a deep roots after all. The network of relationships created by years of interest links has allowed him to still maintain a considerable influence on important institutions such as the Disney Supervisory Board, Nomination Committee, Audit Committee, and Remuneration Committee.

As long as Eisner can be driven away and the Disney family will return, Roy Disney will support Linton. The old man is happy to have internal conflicts in the "Royal Party". With the strength shown by Linton at this shareholders' meeting, he can deal with any party.

But the old king was still the king. Song Ya, Linton, Sloan and others held a conference call to make a decision, then took a deep breath and picked up the microphone carefully.

“APLUS.”

In fact, no one, including Paulson, expected that the always unruly Black Pharaoh would choose to try to make peace tonight. When Eisner, who went home and licked his wound alone, saw the lit call number, a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart, and there was still a show!

Wait, wait, what's wrong with me? It's not that I'm angry at the enemy of me, nor that I'm waiting for an opportunity to retaliate for the direct offense that night...

In order to preserve my power, I fell to this point...

He immediately felt deeply ashamed.

No matter what, Linton, who had publicly turned against him, knew that he had lost his prestige at Disney and any straw could save his life!

Song Ya and Linton also have information gaps, such as the Supervisory Board, the Nomination Committee, the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee... Those senior officials who seem to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor are mainly hung up by the high salary and equity incentives every year for their interests.

But in fact, any other party entering the market has the strength to continue to feed them. The premise of issuing equity incentives is to meet the stock price... Disney has experienced fierce internal strife for nearly two years, and its market value has been fluctuating repeatedly. Since there is no way to talk about equity incentives.

His Majesty's opponents have made him lose the ability to lead Disney's stock price to continue to rise, which is no longer of value to these people. Everyone is very practical.

"Mr. Eisner, I watched the live broadcast of today's shareholders' meeting..." Song Ya spoke.

"Is that so? Haha, it's so embarrassing. Today is like a farce." Eisner replied with a thick skin.

"Yes, George Mitchell is absolutely amazing. The first time I saw a chairman swearing at the shareholders' representatives at the shareholders' meeting..."

In fact, this situation is not uncommon. Song Yajia said what the other party likes and showed goodwill.

"Haha, George is seventy years old, he has nothing to worry about."

The two chatted as if nothing had happened before.

"Blake's Sahara will be painting next month, I promised to attend the premiere, where are you?" Song Ya played the emotional card.

"No, Blake doesn't like being photographed with me in his project."

Eisner felt sad. His eldest son was very artistic and confident, and he was quite taboo to be believed by the outside world that his personal success was related to his family background.

"It's Mr. Eisner. The things that happened at Disney are hurting everyone. I think it's time to stop. What do you think?" After talking about the old story for a while, Song Ya got to the point.

"Of course, I feel it's time, too." Eisner's face became solemn, he pressed the earpiece tightly into his ear, and he didn't want to miss out any words.

"The conditions that Linton mentioned to you are still valid." Song Ya asked: "Is this OK?"

How can this be done? No! Absolutely not!

Eisner was immediately disappointed.

Linton simply persuaded him to leave, let him inherit his power in Disney, and then let him leave decently and give some high resignation compensation, promised to take care of his shares in Disney, his old subordinates, and his three sons' career, retain a senior consultant job with a salary and status, and promised to leave some influence, etc.

None of them solves their ultimate desire: power.

"APLUS, believe me, Linton is still a little in a bad mood. Two years, I will take him for two more years. When George Mitchell leaves like Roy Disney at the age of 72, I will give it to him and you, I swear." Eisner said.

The next day.

George Mitchell walked into the big conference room with a stern face. All the new and old directors were in place. "Let's start." He glanced at Linton, who was expressionless next to him. The Big Malaysian Golden Knife sat down at the head of the long conference table. "Let us welcome... Mr. Director."

The new Goldman Sachs director who was introduced by him stood up and accepted everyone's applause and welcomed them.

George Mitchell then read out the resolutions of yesterday's shareholders' meeting and then followed the process to allow the board of directors to pass and implement it.

"I'm not targeting you, Linton, your work is done well, but your business is too heavy. There is a lot of copyright companies and another lot of Bowei Pictures. I need a deputy to better share my work on the board of directors."

George Mitchell then couldn't wait to take out Linton's position as vice chairman to discuss, and he asked hypocritically: "What do you think?"

"Thank you for your concern, Chairman Mitchell, I'm still busy. Besides, you have enough energy. As the vice chairman, I only need to do some programmatic paperwork."

Linton replied: "I can do it, thank you."

"It's not me that you also saw the attitude of the shareholder representatives yesterday. With 57% of the valid votes, you almost passed the vote of distrust. As the chairman, I also need to give you an explanation to everyone." George Mitchell said.

"I remember that the votes for your independent director's re-elected distrust last year were exactly the same as those I did yesterday? Mr. Chairman, if you use this reason, do you need it the same... Haha, I'll give you an explanation?" Linton sneered and retorted.

"Ai!"

George Mitchell yelled impatiently, "Then raise your hands to vote! Raise your hand who agrees to remove Linton from his position as vice chairman!"

Eisner was the first to raise his hand, exchanged glances with Linton opposite him, and then looked at the other directors with a smile.

Yesterday, the talk with Black Pharaoh broke down again, and the other party refused to "reduce the price".

Linton put his hands into his pants pockets, leaned back, and looked up at the sky.

Um?

Robert Iger didn't move? Eisner's eyelids twitched.

"Now isn't the time?" Another director questioned: "This personnel change is not in market expectations. What will the outside world react? Stock price..."

"The stock price will come back!"

George Mitchell interrupted roughly, "It's not because some ambitious people who colluded with inside and outside deliberately suppress Disney's market value. They will give me this trick before and after every shareholders' meeting! If you want to leave, get out! We don't leave unstable factors! Without A... that kid might be better!"

Some people, including the new director of Goldman Sachs, began to raise their hands one after another.

“1,2,3…”
